Get ready for some island hopping.

Soft beaches and unspoiled nature are just a boat trip away from capital city Conakry. The small archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, better known as Îles de Los, is the perfect getaway for watersports or doing absolutely nothing.

Guinea, home to the best waterfalls.

Guinea is home to all types and sizes of waterfalls. If you come across the Saala Waterfalls in the Fouta Djallon region, make sure to plunge into the pools at the base of these falls.

Flights to Conakry, Guinea

Little known to most of the world, Guinea is a land of lush forests, mesmerising mountain plateaus and a white sandy coastline. Adventurers will be drawn to drive over rocky and rugged paths, while nature lovers will hike along plunging waterfalls, trek through sticky rainforests and discover the many villages Guinea has to offer. Officially declared Ebola-free in June 2016 and lifted from related travel restrictions, it’s now the time to explore this far from the beaten path country. And the best part is that you’ll most likely have it all to yourself.

When you land in Conakry, the capital city of the Republic of Guinea, you’ll most probably find yourself in a somewhat chaotic yet lively city, filled with music on every corner of the street. Originally settled on Tombo Island on the Atlantic coast, the West-African capital is home to 2 million inhabitants and it serves as the economic, financial and cultural centre of Guinea.

So don’t wait a moment longer, and book your ticket for Conakry, Guinea!

What to do in and around Conakry?

Just off the coast, and only a short boat ride away from Conakry, lies the island group “Îles de Los”, best known for its beaches and forested interiors. It’s the perfect getaway for those who want to spend a weekend with a scenic view and more chilled-out vibe, whether it’s for relaxing or practicing water sports.

Highland region Fouta Djallon, located in the centre of Guinea and covering 22% of the entire country, consists of grasslands, sandstone formations and deep jungle canyons created by rainfall and many rivers that find their origin here. Massive waterfalls such as the Kinkon Falls, deep gorges and beautiful landscapes make this region one of the best hiking places in all of West-Africa.

Also in the Fouta Djallon, on a high rock wall of Mont Loura, you can see a giant statue in the shape of a woman’s face, also called “La Dame du Mali” (The Lady of Mali).

Bel Air beach is undoubtedly one of the most prestigious beaches on the Guinean coast. White sands and a soft ocean breeze make it one of the favourite spots among tourists.

Parc National du Haut Niger, one of Guinea’s most protected areas, covers about 1200 square kilometres and is one of West-Africa’s last tropical forests. Thanks to the dense foliage and the lack of visitor facilities the forest has plenty of wildlife, such as hippos, buffalo and chimpanzees. Be sure to make your arrangements in advance at the Ministère de l’Agriculture.

Spread over southern Guinea and northern Ivory Coast lies the Nimba Range, a protected nature reserve and one of the highest summits in West-Africa. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is rich in flora and fauna and has exceptional numbers of endemic species. Its highest peak is Mount Richard-Molard at an altitude of 1,752 m.
